WARD 4 FARMER RAISES OWNMEAT AT A VERY SMALL COST

Mr. Ardis Perry, one of the most'progressive farmers of Ward 4, and a.Democrat subscriber, informs us thathe has just butchered 4 hogs fromwhich he obtained 100 lbs. of lardand 676 Ibs of meat. The only ex-pense in raising the hogs was 15 bush-els of corn fed to them. They practic-ally made their own way. Mr. Perrybelieves in, raising a plenty of every-thing at home, and always has a sur-plus to sell. Low cotton prices can-not deter this kind, of a farmer.

H E UNIVERSAL CAR

The Ford Runabout

THE Ford Runabout needs no advertising. About all we have,to do is to tell you we can supply the demand withpromptness and the selling is over. We have never been able to getenough. There are more than tour million'five hundred thousandFord cars in operation to4ay, and of this'number about three hundredthousand are in foreign countries, the rest right here in America, butwe have one hundred and five to one hundred ind ten millions of peo-ple and it looks from the way demand comes in that we will have tosell that many Runabouts before we can satisfy that demand.

It is one great, little utility. It fits into every man's wants, fromthe physician to'the worker in the factory,\Yrom the country black.smith to the millionaire railroad owner, from the contractor and hisemployees to the millionaire sporting man's entourage, almost asnecesscary these days as the handkerchief.
